Cal will also demystify how to make a muslin, adjust fit, and customize details.

Amazing class and very much a game changer for me. I feel like I now have the confidence to actually use some of the really nice fabrics in my stash that I've been afraid to use because either I wasn't good enough or I didn't want to ruin it. Thank you Cal!
